use that he had something else to do. He then secretly headed for Building F.This time, he was sure no one was following him as he entered Su Han's office.Su Han’s door wasn’t locked, probably because...Chapter 431: The thing I want...
A myriad of sword beams!
Hum... hum... the sword beams spread around郝仁, flickering in and out.
The spiritual energy fluctuations made all cultivators surrounding the arena feel a sense of oppression that constricted every blood vessel.
If such an amount of sword beams were to form into a sword array, it would be an annihilating formation even a Great perfected Deity could not escape from!
The lower-level cultivators couldn't help but imagine themselves being trapped by these sword beams and wanted to cry.
Swish swish swish... All the myriad sword beams turned their tips toward Qin Shaoyang.
Qin Shaoyang, who was looking up at郝仁, had a pale face now.
A myriad swords piercing through his heart! What kind of situation is this! He could experience it right now!
Harvey's right hand slightly pointed forward.
In the open eastern test area, all arenas were already in ruins with no place to hide. Facing a myriad sword beams again, Qin Shaoyang didn't even have an opportunity to escape!
At this moment, Qin Shaoyang's face was worse than crying.
An inspector, as an envoy of the Dragon God Temple, could activate the distress signal in their token if they were in danger and summon nearby inspectors or experts from the Dragon God Temple for assistance.
Such a signal would typically only be released when an inspector faced life-threatening danger or was unable to extricate themselves.
Qin Shaoyang was now at the heart of the inspectors, on the platform of the Dragon God Temple, and he had declared that today's competition disregarded casualties. How could he release such a distress signal with face
Furthermore, Qin Shaoyang himself announced that today’s match would not consider injuries or fatalities.
As Harvey's hand waved, the myriad sword beams suddenly moved.
Su Han squinted his eyes and roughly counted; the sword beams controlled by Harvey numbered as many as 40,000!
When 40,000 sword beams move simultaneously, what an awe-inspiring sight it is.
Facing a mountain of blades or raging fire would be no different!
This sword mountain and sea of swords could even move!
If the sword light came at him extremely fast, it would immediately turn Qin Shaoyang into a pincushion.
Su Han held his white jade longsword. She thought to herself that if she were facing such an overwhelming array of swords with her not-so-powerful white jade sword, she wouldn't be able to fight them off either.
However, Hao Ren didn’t rapidly activate the sword light; he let these sword lights advance a meter at a time!
Qin Shaoyang stepped on the golden shuttle and descended half a meter at a time.
If he tried to escape, he would definitely lose. But if he didn’t run away, how could he possibly withstand tens of thousands of sword lights
The only thing he could hope for was that the examiners around him might come to his aid.
Yet none of those six sub-examiners were fools; who would dare help when faced with such overwhelming sword light The other first and second-level examiners maintaining order didn’t even dare take a deep breath.
In the pitch-black Dragon God Temple, everything was silent as well.
Hao Ren stood atop a stone tower formed by piles of broken stones. He raised his hand high up.
Tens of thousands of sword lights retracted one meter at a time.
The immense spiritual pressure gradually weakened as the distance between them increased.
Just when Qin Shaoyang, who had already landed on the ground, was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Hao Ren’s arm suddenly slashed down rapidly.
The retreating sword lights abruptly charged toward Qin Shaoyang!
Dense and dense… Each sword light emitted blindingly bright rays.
None of the cultivators around him, including Su Han, could open their eyes.
BAM!
The sword lights directly carved out a neat square pit measuring 500 meters long and wide, reaching one meter deep on the ground!
The entire eastern examination area platform trembled from this impact!
And at the center of this square depression was an unscathed patch of flat land.
This one-square-meter ground, surrounded by depressions, looks like a solitary island.
Qin Shaoyang, clutching his head, crouched on this flat spot. His golden shuttle had already rolled to his feet.
"Phew..." Zhao Hongyu heaved a sigh of relief at the side.
If Hao Ren were really to injure or kill Qin Shaoyang, the chief examiner, on the grounds of the Dragon God Temple, it would be a major incident.
Standing atop the tall stone tower, Hao Ren asked, "Examiner Qin, have I... won"
Qin Shaoyang stood up, his face ashen.
Although Hao Ren’s sword hadn’t pierced him, the intense spiritual energy and sharp blade had shaken him to his core! It was like a rocket flying past an ordinary person—how could that person remain unscathed
Right now, Qin Shaoyang's internal spiritual energy was in chaos. Standing on this solitary small flat spot, he couldn’t even jump out of the fifty-meter-wide ditch surrounding him!
"Does Examiner Qin’s earlier promise still hold" Hao Ren asked.
Qin Shaoyang struggled to regulate his disordered breath; a stifling sensation in his chest prevented him from speaking.
Losing to Hao Ren was already embarrassing enough. If he were to renege on his word, wouldn’t that be even more shameful
It’s like looking into a mirror as Zhu Bajie—Qin Shaoyang was not a person inside or out!
Hao Ren returned Black Dragon Spear to the Seed Space and jumped from the top of the stone tower onto the flat spot.
Clatter… The pile of rubble forming the stone tower collapsed instantly.
Hao Ren then walked straight up to Su Han. "Am I now qualified as a formal examiner"
Su Han’s bright eyes stared at Hao Ren, unsure what to say.
Xie Yujia beside Su Han and Zhao Yanzi next to Zhao Kuo were also staring in astonishment at Hao Ren.
"I can’t participate in the martial trials that follow," Hao Ren said to Su Han again.
“Huh” Su Han was taken aback for a moment before nodding. "Oh…"
Hao Ren’s victory over Qin Shaoyang meant he could definitely become a formal examiner, and whether or not he participated in the subsequent martial trials didn’t matter much anymore regarding obtaining one of the top three rankings.
"Qin ShaoYang agreed to my bet, so could you help me collect it" Hao Ren placed the identity card of "Jinyin ErSiLiu" into Su Han's hand and said.
"What do you want" Su Han finally returned to her usual demeanor and asked.
"The item the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace wants," Hao Ren replied.
"This… I can't do it, nor can Qin ShaoYang," Su Han hesitated for half a second before saying.
Hao Ren had expected this. He paused for a moment and then said, "Then I want another item from the Dragon God Temple: the Seven-Hearted Five-Colored Lotus."
"The Seven-Hearted Five-Colored Lotus…" Su Han silently repeated it to herself, as though she was hearing about this thing for the first time.
"Uncle Zhao, Auntie Zhao, we should head back now," Hao Ren said to Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu.
“Hmm…” Zhao Hongyu took out her Landscape Map, immediately spreading it open.
Zhao Yanzi supported Zhao Kuo and stood on the map. Zhen Ciming and the others also quickly stepped onto it.
Whoosh!
The Landscape Map carried them off in a flash, amidst the envious gazes of many cultivators.
Zhao Hongyu, riding her magic treasure, felt exceptionally refreshed… Hao Ren had made the Eastern Sea's reputation soar this time around!
In a dimly lit secret room within the Dragon God Temple, a broad-shouldered cultivator stood with his back to the wall.
"What is the background of that Jinyin ErSiLiu" The shadowy figure spoke in deep tones.
“He’s the son-in-law of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace and also a major general. He’s an assistant examiner for Su Han,” one of the nine cultivators sitting in the room answered.
"Oh A person from Su Han"
"Yes, Pavilion Master,"
The shadow pondered for several seconds and then raised his hand slightly. "Qin ShaoYang acted rashly; he is demoted to a third-grade examiner. Jinyin ErSiLiu has shown outstanding performance; treat him the same as those in the top three places of the imperial examination, and promote him directly to a third-grade examiner."d indeed also arrived. Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang sat upright on the sofa, chatting cordially with Lu Qing and Zhao Guang."Ren-er, come here and help make dumplings too!" Grandma called out to him."Sir...
